AVI file conversion software?

[doddze]

I am looking for sofware to convert AVI files to MPEG and then burn them so I can play them back on my DVD player... I know DVDSanta will do this but it is $29... before I splash out on it can anyone recommend a free one or any alternatives I should look at for a similar price...

thanks

Can't go far wrong than with Nero. It does so much more as well.

a bit pricey for what I want at $79

looks good but will it definately convert AVI to DVD (I cant find anything about AVI files in the information on the Nero site) as this is the main reason I want the software..
